Scotty McCreery (Christmas movies) OC: …all the time. :18
“Some of my favorite holiday movies are The Santa Clause one, that’s with Tim Allen. He was at the CMAs this year. That was pretty cool to see him there. I didn’t get to meet him. I would’ve liked to have. But, Home Alone: Lost in New York. All of those are good ones. A Christmas Story, now that’s a classic, A Christmas Story right there. That’s on every Christmas. We watch it all the time.”
